New ksny Celina dress is amazing!!!!

I love the new Celina dress from kate spade new york! It is available for pre-order on Nordstrom.com here This dress is one I may try to sew because it seems pretty simple. I am going to attempt to make the stripes myself out of two colors of fabric instead of trying to find a fabric already printed with stripes. This way I can choose any colors I want. I like the way the bodice is pleated in the front on to a shaped waistband. I will have to find a pattern for this one asap. I will let you know what I end up doing...
Off to the outlet for the friend's and family sale!!!

Wow that is a lovely dress, sorry do you have a link for your etsy shop?I'm so sad I missed the family friend sale! Do you recall how many times they do an online sale ech year? I bought lots during the sample sale and that 15% ( or was it 20...) in around February so totally kicking myself for missing the hopping 25% off!

I noticed this dress when I was browsing Nordstrom the other week! It is sooo cute. I think the darted bust will actually look a bit weird on my chest, so I'll probably be forced to pass, but I'd still love to see how your recreation turns out! :)

Goodbye Valentino, I am making pattern right now in the jillian style. I ruined one of my jillian dresses so I cut it up to make a pattern for the bow thingie on the front. All I need is the zipper and it is finished! If you find a dress you like you can add the bow piece when you sew in the side seams. It really is just two triangles pleated and sewn together at the middle with a bow on top.Xoxox,Sandee
